WACS: Introduction
Part of JLab program of Hard Exclusive Reactions
• Elastic Form Factors: GMP,GEP,GMN,GEN,FF • WACS: high t in two-photon reaction • Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS)• Deeply Virtual Meson Production
Common issues:
• Handbag diagram• Interplay between hard and soft processes• Threshold for onset of asymptotic regime• Role of hadron helicity flip

GPDs
Cross section of Wide-Angle Compton Scattering
• Three-quark mechanism dominates at “asymptopia” 2 hard gluon exchanges. Constituent counting rules:
d/dt = f(CM)/s6
“complicated” polarization observables
• Single-quark mechanism “handbag” diagram dominates. Form factors:
“simple” polarization observables

Very clean data
Calibration to elastic e-p polarization data taken parallel to WACS
Expected small systematic uncertainty
Result is favor to CQM

Need to know incident photon energy ->
Limited luminosity
Post-target tagging!

Summary of the physics plan
Proton WACS – cross section with 11 GeV beam, ALL&KLL Neutron WACS – cross section Pi-0 from the proton – cross section, KLL, ALL Pi-0 from the neutron – cross section Strange form-factor at large Q2 ( ep->e’p, both in
calorimeters)

GPDsCalorimeter parameters
Calorimeter size – match of Super Bigbite Spectrometer – 20 cm long target, 70 msr ( horizontal +/- 5 degree, vertical +/- 12 degree), energy resolution <10%, angular/position resolution of 1-2 mrad, two cluster resolution < 10 mrad, need at least 2-3 m between magnet and the calorimeter. Radiation hardness!!
For example: at distance 5-10 meters from the target: BigCal 1.2x 2.2 m, 6% energy resolution, 1 cm coordinate resolution, RMol ~ 3.7 cm, limit for radiation dose of 1 krad.
What need to be done: a) Study of radiation hardness and resolution at high luminosity b) Budget and used equipment: PMT, DAQ, HV, crystals
